Founders editions sold out within about 3 weeks. I haven't seen any mention of whether there will be any more.

The prices in Canada are a little ludicrous right now, quite disproportionate to US (factoring exchange). The MSI Gaming version (which have had a great reputation for quietness in generations past) is a whopping C$550+. Their Ventus version is $60 less, looks like it might be yesteryears cooler without lights so might be a good value.

If anyone is interested on the RTX2060, the Asus version seems as they have done with the RTX2080Ti/2080, come with the dual bios (performance and Quiet), that its likely to end up as the quietest card.

PS Steve, GTX1660 Ti seems like a very nice card, specially for its price, its much more likely choice for the main market, and there are some that are very promising noise wise and price wise, like the zotac, its likely that the Asus might be quieter, but price wise the zotac is $280 vs asus $330.

Picked up a FE from a friend who upgraded. Price was right and the lack of fan-stop didnt worry me (since most axial fan cards I've come across are quiet enough for me at ~1krpm)....BUT...

ONE of the two fans has a nasty bearing chatter, easily noted in an otherwise very quiet setup. The other fan is fine. Talk about rotten luck. I'll be surprised if nVidia considers it a defect and even if they do, I'm not "the original owner" so that could be issue.

I found several listings for the fans on AliExpress, but they all seem to reference the fans as being a pair of slightly different AVC models, DAPA0815B2UP002 and DAPA0815B2UP003. They look absolutely identical, spin in the same direction etc. Could the pinout on the connector be different? How stupid would that be...
